On Monday, May 6, 2019, Olen Edward Gammons loving husband and father of two children, passed away at the age of 76.  He was born on March 3, 1943 to Lindsay Dee Gammons and Leila Louise (Barnett) Gammons in Sherman, Texas.  After high school, Olen served his country proudly in the United States Army for three years.  He married Betty Sue Williams in 1960 in McKinney, Texas.  Olen built a career in the computer and electronic data industry which he retired from in 2012.  In retirement, he became an avid golfer and fisherman. Olen most enjoyed spending time with family and taking family vacations.  He was always very supportive of his children’s and grandchildren’s interests and accomplishments; attending countless athletic events and competitions as their biggest fan.
